Abstract
A power handling system of a digitally addressable lighting interface (DALI) system controls switches connected with a bus of the DALI system that powers lower power light sources. A power supply circuit receives energy conducted on the bus to the lower power light sources and conducts at least part of the energy to a capacitor. Electric energy is stored in the capacitor until the capacitor stores at least a designated threshold of input voltage of a controller. The capacitor powers the controller to close one or more switches using at least some of the stored electric energy.
